Cultivate a love for all things green and growing with the little ones during the school holidays. In this hands-on family workshop, we’ll explore the world of ox tongue, horse teeth, vetmensies, kransklokkies and other weirdly wonderful succulents of the South African arid areas.

Resident succulent expert Cornell Beukes will take us on a stroll through the garden to the Succulent House where he’ll share his insights on the propagation of succulents and make cuttings. We’ll explore how to plant and successfully grow succulents, including their soil and watering needs. We’ll also share fascinating stories about these quirky plants and why they have such interesting names.

Juice and gelato are included.
